Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - This is Just a Test!

By
Real Estate Agent with C21 Solid Gold Realty, Brick, NJ, 732-920-2100 NJ RE 0573010

On Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 2pm Eastern (1400 for those familiar with 24 hour time) FEMA will conduct a Nationwide TEST of the Emergency Broadcast System.

This is the 1st test of the system across the entire nation. It will be similar to the tests we've seen & hear for years, but it is the first nationwide test. Mosty will see or hear the usual test preamble, but it is expected that some areas will not see the TEST ribbon on the TV screen or may not properly be advised verbally on local radio stations.

The system has been used regionally & locally by NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association) and State agencies. The President can also activate this system nationwide if needed.

FEMA (and other agencies) have produced videos to help get the word out.

This is the English and Sign version.

This is a Spanish version.

 

Please pass the word on to your family, friends and clients. This is ONLY A TEST!
Bruce.

Bruce, thank you for your comment on my post about social networking today. Reading this post I could not help but wonder when FEMA will begin to use more of the communicative new technologies...a tweet goes viral faster than a nationwide TV/radio broadcast in only two languages.

Bruce better late than never in my response to you.  Good job on passing along the Emergency Broadcast Testing.  I was at work with buyers that day and missed all the doings.  Wrote a contract without incident and all was well with the world.  Best regards to you and hope you enjoy an awesome day my friend.

"I listen for a living." It's all about you.

I, for one, climbed under the closest school desk I could find and covered my head with my arms just like we were taught during the "red scare" of the 50-60's.  This is the part of our government that is set up to help us in emergencies.

Thanks for the heads up. I did miss this. I so rarely listen to the radio or have the TV on.

Gee, I knew nothing about this. Weird. But, then I too am on the West Coast where nothing happened. ( I used to have to do these little area alerts during my radio days...always drove me crazy. ) Ha ha.
